Sea Save Foundation

About us

Sea Save Foundation, founded in 2003 with the original name “International Marine Imaging Project“, is a science based, not-for-profit, ocean conservation organization that leverages the power of education, imagery and critical calls to action to catalyze ocean protection on the regional, national and international stages.

Mission Statement
To generate consciousness and encourage stewardship of natural ecosystems while continuing with other charitable educational activities associated with this purpose.

Impact Statement
Sea Save Foundation strives to protect our oceans by raising awareness about the beauty of marine ecosystems and their fundamental importance to human survival. We seek solutions, advance public policy, and drive advocacy.

What we do
• Give Em the Fin is an interactive campaign that was used to launch a widespread global conversation. This campaign provided a launchpad to discuss and underscore our goal to discourage the consumption of shark fin soup and to educate about the critical role sharks play in healthy ocean ecosystems. The campaign included education, advocacy, and activism on a global level including children and adults, students and scientists, individuals, and groups. This campaign involved information, used to increase knowledge and insight, that resulted in action. That action was leveraged into a global community activity and artwork.
• CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) is an international agreement between governments. Its aim is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. The purpose of CITES is to ensure that international trade does not threaten the survival of any plant or animal. CITES is one of the international platforms where Sea Save Foundation courageously wages a battle to protect threatened and endangered species from extinction.
• Big Blue Town: Sea Save Foundation created a compelling music video for the Stephanie Quayle Country Western song, Big Blue Town. We will gain exposure for the song and message by entering this, as new form of Public Service Announcement, at targeted Film Festivals and targeting other markets that will be receptive to this effort.
• Dive 4 A Difference: Every day, divers around the world go underwater and document the state of our reefs. By capturing the energy, enthusiasm, and talent of these divers, we aim to create a comprehensive online shark photography and video library to serve teachers, students, and scientists. Through this program we’ll help give divers the opportunity to contribute and give back to the ocean, while also providing a valuable connection between recreational divers and a worldwide academic team.
• Voice of Cocos Island: Sea Save Foundation leaders are uniquely positioned to protect the island from poachers who decimate the island’s animal populations. We will reach out to regular visitors to the island such as park rangers, guards, and scientists to relay information about their trips and the condition of the island. Using this information, we seek to inform people of the scientific value and sheer beauty of Cocos Island and its inhabitants to engage them as we ask for their help in protecting it. The Voice of Cocos Island is a blog that connects this natural laboratory with the rest of the world. Updates about scientific findings, spectacular underwater encounters, and personal reflections can be shared with the world.
• Ocean Week In Review: Every week the Sea Save Foundation team researches and vets the critical stories from the last seven days. We use only reliable news or primary sources. We weave the critical facts into a few tight sentences and present this “Ocean Week in Review” to our audience via our blog and social media platforms.
• Get Trashy: Through weekly Sea Save Foundation videos we will be asking and inspiring people to get involved by dedicating just a few minutes of their day in efforts to clean up waterways in their communities. By removing trash from a lake, river or ocean, individuals could improve the water feature, improve the environment for local inhabitants and look to better the aquatic ecosystem. The videos will encourage people to participate no matter where they live – near the beach or in a city – as we must start somewhere if our aim to clean our oceans and planet.
